The Snowmaker - _TNY_3600

This carpenter bee from Phu Quoc, Vietnam is from what I understand either a Xylocopa aestuans or X. flavonigrescens. Either way it's a magnificient and large bee which buzzed around quite loudly.

 

They were interested in the flowers of this tree and when being done with one of those small white flowers they pulled it off and went for the next one, causing a slow snowfall of spent flowers underneath the tree.
